Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to invite contributions to the Women’s Special Issue Series: Diabetology. The purpose of this collection is to highlight and celebrate the contributions that people who identify as women are making to further our clinical and scientific understanding of diabetes. It is devoted to presenting research performed by early- and advanced-career female scientists.

Diabetology is an international, peer-reviewed scientific open-access journal that provides an advanced forum for studies related to the epidemiology, etiology, pathophysiology, pathogenesis, management, complications, and prevention of diabetes, including the molecular, biochemical, and physiological aspects of diabetes. We welcome original research articles, reviews, or commentaries encompassing type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes mellitus. All submissions will be subjected to rigorous peer review.

Whilst we encourage articles where lead and/or corresponding authors are women, we understand that gender identity is personal and our understanding of equity and equality is always evolving. Thus, we welcome submissions from all authors, irrespective of gender.

Approximately half of all people with diabetes are women; however, the inclusion of women at all levels of research on diabetes is lacking. Clinical and pre-clinical trials do not have gender equity despite the differing progression of diabetes complications in women, and fewer women sit in academic or clinical leadership positions in diabetes than men. Whilst this scenario is not unique to diabetes, the purpose of this opinion article is to evaluate women’s position in diabetology and focus on why the drive for gender equity at all levels is important. This article serves as a preface to the upcoming Diabetology Women’s Special Issue Series, which aims to highlight and celebrate the achievements of women and people who identify as women in the hope of raising female voices in diabetes research and practice.
